+--- Thread: Is this the 2nd label bottling? (/thread-6166.html)

I have a bottle in my cellar which, I admit, I thought was Branaire-Ducru when I bought it. It's the 1999. But it says (Duluc-Ducru), just like that in parenthesis, underneath where it says Branaire-Ducru. Does anyone know if this is the regular label or the second label?

Joey this is the 2nd label of this fine 4th growth vineyard. WW

bummer ... think it's any good? Should I drink it soon, or keep it another few years?

99 was an okay vintage, not great but okay. The 99s are drinkable now for the lesser bottlings, which drink best in the 4-7 year window. Of course exceptions abound.
